Fruit Acid Peel

Experience the transformative power of a natural peel that gently renews your skin and restores its natural radiance.

The formula with fruit acids stimulates the natural skin renewal process and visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation spots. At the same time, the Fruit Acid Peel boosts cell metabolism to refine your skin texture and combat impurities.

With an effective combination of natural acids such as hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), tartaric acid, citric acid, and lactic acid, the Fruit Acid Peel provides gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and evens out the complexion. Tocopherol, a powerful antioxidant, enhances the skin’s resilience, while niacinamide regulates sebum production and reduces the appearance of pores.

• Hyaluronic acid is an effective moisturizer that intensely hydrates and plumps the skin. It helps smooth dryness lines and gives the skin a fuller, smoother appearance.
• Tartaric acid, an AHA derived from grapes, gently exfoliates, moisturizes, and promotes wound healing. It reduces keratinization and age spots, improves elasticity, and creates a smooth, even skin texture.
• Lactic acid gently removes dead skin cells, reduces hyperpigmentation, and can refine large pores while visibly refreshing a tired, uneven complexion.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) retains moisture, promotes cell regeneration, and strengthens the skin barrier. As an antioxidant, it protects against free radicals and helps reduce blackheads.
• Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, evens out skin tone, and reduces hyperpigmentation and redness. It regulates sebum production, refines the skin texture, and can soothe inflammation and acne.
• Apple leaf extract protects against environmental damage and premature aging with antioxidants. It soothes the skin, reduces redness, and promotes exfoliation through AHAs for an even complexion. It also supports regeneration and gives the skin a fresh appearance.

Thanks to the moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid, the skin is deeply hydrated, while stimulation of collagen and elastin production helps maintain its elasticity and firmness. With a pH of about 4.7 and an optimal acid content of around 2.3%, the peel is gentle on the skin while supporting its natural protective barrier.

• Suitable for all skin types, especially mature, dull, blemish-prone, and hyperpigmented skin
• Moisturizes, promotes cell metabolism, and gently exfoliates with natural fruit acids
• For soft, even, and firm skin texture

Application

• Apply to face, neck, and décolleté and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water or a warm sea sponge after about 6 to 8 minutes of exposure.
• Recommended use: 1-2 times per month.
• Tip: For very mature skin, the peel can be left on the skin for up to 25 minutes to intensify the effect.

Active Ingredients

• After application, hydrolyzed rice proteins penetrate the upper skin layers and support the build-up and repair of the skin barrier. They contribute to firming and tightening the skin, making it appear healthier and smoother. The amino acids strengthen the skin’s resilience, improve moisture retention, and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion. Hydrolyzed proteins are broken down into smaller peptides through hydrolysis, making them easier for the skin to absorb.
• Apple leaf extract (Pyrus Malus (Apple) Leaf Extract) is rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from harmful environmental influences and counteract premature skin aging. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can reduce redness and soothe the skin. It also contains fruit acids, especially alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which promote gentle exfoliation, improve skin texture, and create an even complexion. The extract supports regeneration and gives the skin a fresh, revitalized appearance.
• Tartaric acid (Tartaric Acid), an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) from grapes, tightens and moisturizes. It promotes wound healing and improves skin elasticity while providing good hydration. Additionally, tartaric acid helps reduce keratinization, lighten age spots, and create a smoother, more even skin texture.
• Hydrolyzed wheat bran is obtained by hydrolysis from the outer layer of the wheat grain. It soothes and nourishes the skin by strengthening its natural barrier and helping to retain moisture. The contained fibers, vitamins, and minerals promote skin regeneration and support healing. Hydrolyzed wheat bran also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce redness and irritation.
• Niacinamides (Vitamin B3) support the synthesis of lipids and ceramides essential for the skin’s barrier function. They improve skin texture and even out uneven skin tone. The vitamins also help with hyperpigmentation and redness. Niacinamides can regulate sebum production and reduce overproduction. This makes pores appear smaller and less “stretched.” Due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, niacinamide can also positively influence inflammation and moderate acne.
• Vitamin E / Tocopherol enables long-lasting moisture retention between cells. This strong antioxidant neutralizes harmful free radicals and can inhibit oil oxidation, preventing blackheads. Vitamin E also promotes cell regeneration and strengthens the natural function of the skin’s protective barrier.
• Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronic Acid / Sodium Hyaluronate) stores moisture up to 1000 times its weight. Hyaluronic acid is a main component of connective tissue, filling and supporting it. Due to its ability to bind large amounts of water, it is responsible for the skin’s moisture content. Hyaluronic acid also promotes skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, we lose our natural hyaluronic acid, which is one of the main causes of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid helps fill fine lines and plump the skin.
  
• Urea, a natural component of the skin’s moisture balance, binds water and promotes the absorption of hydrating ingredients. At higher concentrations, it helps regulate keratinization, making it especially valuable for blemished and oily skin.
• Lactic acid (Lactic Acid) is an alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates and can reduce hyperpigmentation and age spots. It also has the ability to shrink large pores and visibly refresh dull, uneven complexions.
